A shorthand system used to indicate the concentration of hydrogen ions.

ph

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. On the pH scale 7.0 is?

neutral ph

pH values that are less than 7.0?

Acidic solutions

pH values that are more than 7.0?

Alkaline solutions

Blood pH above 7.45?

alkalosis

Blood pH below 7.35?

Acidosis

Chemicals that resist pH change?

Buffers

Carbonic acid dissociation formula?

co2+h20><H2co3><h+plus HCO3

Chemicals that contain carbon and hydrogen are organic, usually dissolve in organic liquids (oils), electrolytes normally do not dissociate in water, four groups of these substances in cells are 1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Nucleic acids.
